APPLICANT'S AFFIRMATION OF RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
By signing this application for assistance, I affirm the following: I affirm under penalty of perjury that the information on the application and its attachments is true and correct. This application is a legal document. Deliberately omitting information or giving false or misleading information may cause Harris Health System to terminate services to me or a member of my household/family. I understand that if I deliberately omit information or give false or misleading information, I may be required to reimburse Harris Health System and the State for the services rendered if I am found to be ineligible for services.
I will report changes in my household/family situation, including changes in income, household/family members, and residency that affect eligibility during the certification period within 14 days of the change. I authorize the release of all information, including but not limited to income and medical information, to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), or Harris Health System in order to determine eligibility, to bill, or to render services to me or my household/family. I understand that Harris Health System may ask me to provide proof of any of the information provided in this application.
I must report to Harris Health System any health insurance coverage, including but not limited to individual or group health insurance, health maintenance organization membership, Medicaid, Medicare, Veterans Administration benefits, TRICARE, and Worker's Compensation benefits. Because benefits from health insurance may be considered the primary source of payment for health care received, I hereby assign to Harris Health System any such benefits as well as any payment for benefits and services received from and through Harris Health System directly to the service providers. I understand that to maintain program eligibility, I will be required to reapply for assistance at least every twelve months and potentially sooner if I am identified as eligible for any type of third-party assistance. I am a bona fide resident or am a dependent of a bona fide resident of Harris County for Harris Health Financial Assistance and a resident of Texas for grant programs. I physically live in Harris County, maintain living quarters in Harris County, Texas, and do not claim to be a resident of another county or state. Some programs provide care through program-approved providers. I understand that to receive benefits from such programs, treatment must be received through those program-approved providers. I understand I have the right to file a complaint regarding the handling of my application or any action taken by the program with the HHSC Civil Rights Office at 1-888- 388-6332. I understand that I will receive written documentation concerning the services for which my household/family or I am eligible or potentially eligible. With few exceptions, I have the right to request and to be informed about information that the State of Texas collects. I am entitled to receive and review the information upon request. I also have the right to ask the state agency to correct any information that is determined to be incorrect. See ; Texas Government Code ?? 552.021, 552.023 and 559.004. If I provide Harris Health System with my e-mail address, I agree to receive e-mail communications from Harris Health System about me and my family/household's financial assistance plan and eligibility. If I provide Harris Health System my e-mail address, I will keep my e-mail address current. I agree that e-mail may not be a private communication between me and Harris Health System because anyone with access to my e-mail account, such as a family member or employer, may be able to access these e-mail communications. I authorize the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) to release the Unemployment Insurance claims records, Wage Record, or other record to Harris Health System. I understand that these are the records of a state agency, and I expressly authorize that agency to release these records to the Harris Health System for the following purpose: to process my application for Harris Health Financial Assistance Program. This Authorization shall be valid for a period of twelve months from the date of execution set forth below, or until my written revocation is received by TWC. This release shall apply to all time periods of records held or maintained by TWC unless specifically limited herein.
